Hae-joon is Korean in Origin.

Hae-joon (Korean: 해준) is a modern Korean given name, typically unisex but more common for boys. It is formed from Sino-Korean elements written with hanja, so its meaning varies by characters: Hae (海 ‘sea,’ 惠 ‘grace,’ 解 ‘to solve,’ 楷 ‘model,’ etc.) + Joon (俊 ‘talented/handsome,’ 濬 ‘deep,’ 竣 ‘to complete,’ 準 ‘standard’). Popular pairings include 海+俊 (“sea” + “talented”) or 惠+俊 (“gracious and gifted”).

Two-syllable hanja names like Hae-joon have been standard since the Joseon era, and the hyphenated style became common in the 20th century. The name has seen rising use from the 1990s onward in South Korea and the diaspora, helped by the chic, crisp -joon ending and occasional appearances in media (e.g., detective Jang Hae-jun in the film Decision to Leave). Romanization variants include Hae-jun (Revised Romanization), Hae-joon, and Haejun; do not confuse with Ha-joon (하준).
